Hello friends, family and community, I hope you are enjoying the fall as much as we are. There is something about real friends, family and community that makes our hearts go a-flutter. And one of the best ways to celebrate each other is to have a place that is full of love... love of food that is! The Kainbigan Pop-Up Restaurant is fast becoming an Oakland staple on Thursday nights and we thank you for the support you have given Chef Caabay and her team. We love hanging out with you! This weekend in the YaY! Area we got scary stories, delicious brunches and a salsa or two to keep you on your toes. Tonight check out Scary Queer then afterwards come have a late dinner at Kainbigan. On Friday head to the city to get your cumbia on with Q2. Saturday is the ButchLYFE Casting Call check out all the deets below we want to see your fabulous face! Then on Sunday check out the newest brunch to hit town, Sound Bites at Spice Monkey. Spice Monkey is one of my most absolute favorite restaurants in Oakland so I am excited to see what they do for brunch! It is gonna be an exciting weekend, See you out and about!
xoxo
Miz Chris

Pssst...wanna hear something scary? Join us for "Scary Queer! A Halloween Storytelling Event" and listen to some of your fave Bay Area writers reading original queer scary stories. Queer scary stories date back to the dawn of language, when fierce cavepeople sat around the fire in woolly mammoth furs and glitter lipstick telling horrid tales of vampire dandies and ghost butches and scaring the bejeezus out of each other. Fun! Half a million years later (or something like that--I'm not a friggin' anthropologist, okay?) we're doing it speakeasy style: low lighting, bathtub gin (ok, maybe bathtub seabreezes), the devil's music, and plenty of debauchery. You don't want to miss this. Featuring: Mia McKenzie Yosimar Reyes Cherry Galette Jezebel Delilah X Nico Dacumos and the haunting blues sounds of KB TuffNStuff! Cover: $7 to $12 sliding scale (all door proceeds go to the artists). Drinks for a small donation (all drinks proceeds go to the amazing Living Room Project). Come fragrance free, aight? Costumes encouraged!
